Valkenburg

The H.H. Nicolaas en Barbara is Valkenburg's oldest church. Of the original 14th-century church very little remains today. Only the tower and part of the nave are really old. In 1833 the nave had been extended while a new choir was added in 1836. P.J.H. Cuypers drastically extended the building in 1904. At the front a new porch with chapels on both sides was added. A three-aisled trave was built at the back of the transept, and behind that a new choir.

The former protestant church is a small building in an Ecclectic style. The architect is unknown but is often believed to be P.J.H. Cuypers. It's now a Greek restaurant.

The St. Jozef is the church of the Broekhem neighbourhood. It was designed by A.J.N. Boosten and built in 1929-1931. The church was entirely built of marl.

Until 1808 the St. Martinus was Houthem's parish church, but after in that year the church of the convent was handed to the parish it fell into decay, until little more than the choir, built in 1785, was left. In 1927 the church was rebuilt on the old foundations and became the chapel of the adjacent old people's home.

Of the original 13th-century Stiftskerk ('Stift's church') little was left after 1574. In that same century a new church was built, but the church in its current state dates from 1720-1727 and was built in German Baroque style. In 1808 it became the parish church and was dedicated to St. Gerlachus.

St. Gerlachus in de Eik is an open chapel in neo-Classical style built in 1870.

The H.H. Monulphus en Gondulphus of Berg en Terblijt was designed by F.P.J. Peutz and W. Springer and dates from 1931-1933. It's a a late example of neo-Gothicism.
